Green Lantern Corps #63Review

The GLC doing what they do best: helping people.

By Erik Norris

For the final issue of Green Lantern Corps before the big September relaunch, Scott Kolins steps in to script an issue that touches on various members of the Green Lantern Corps and leaves us with the message that Green Lanterns always serve to protect, no matter what their upbringing is or what they've been through in the past. It's a touching finale that ends this series on a good note, even if the issue hits some hokey lows.

Green Lantern Corps #63 provides little vignettes into the lives of Boodika, Sciencell officers Voz and G'Hu, Kyle Rayner and Tomar-Tu after the events of the War of the Green Lanterns and the exile of Hal Jordan. It's a depressing note to send this series out on, but Scott Kolins does a good job establishing just how far in the dumps the officers of the Green Lantern Corps are right now, even if the book crosses the line into campy melodrama more than once.

Much like how this books follows an extended cast of characters, it too features an ensemble cast of artists who each pitch in for different chapters. In total, there are four artists that contribute to Green Lantern Corps #63 -- Scott Kolins, Daniel HDR, Freddie Williams II and Joe Prado. While no artist of the bunch is bad, I will say Freddie Williams II takes the cake. With the help of colorist Hi-Fi, Freddie Williams II's art has a beautiful watercolor aesthetic that makes it stand out from the crowd.

Green Lantern Corps #63 is a step up from the last few issues in this series. It might not be the epic send-off we were hoping for, but at least it delivers a moral that explains what the Green Lantern Corps is all about: they are always around, through thick and thin, to help those in need.
